ALLVETS, a nonprofit group with a goal of preserving the stories of local veterans, invites veterans and the public to join them at their monthly recording meetings, held at 7 p.m. the fourth Wednesday of each month, January through October, at the York History Center, 250 E. Market St., York.

It’s been four years since Seven Valleys resident Carl Jones was discharged from the U.S. Army. Recently married and with a newly blended family to support, Jones attended April’s Veterans’ Expo & Job Fair in York in search of new opportunities.
